Sister, Sister

This episode has more twists and turns than a Greek tragedy, yet they fall into place in a reasonable way-albeit one that leaves behind plenty of irony and questions about the paths people choose.

Mary Crosby goes back to being a vixen in this In The Heat Of The Night episode. As we well remember, Bing's daughter made TV history by shooting JR Ewing on Dallas earlier in the decade..

She's one again a vixen and the younger sister of Judith Chapman who stayed home and took care of her father Hugh Jarrett. Jarrett is sick and bedridden mostly, but when he dies the doctor tells Carroll O'Connor there's foul play.

Howard Rollins is familiar with all the players here, his mom having worked for these people hen he was a lad.. As for the ending all I'll say is that we fall back on an old mystery cliche.
